Women, Art, and Society (World of Art)

The place of women in the history of Western art--as the producers of major paintings, sculptures, and craft items, and as the subjects of the work of others--remains controversial. In this extensively revised edition of her brilliant study, Chadwick re-frames and re-presents the issues relating to the conditions under which women have worked as artists from the Middle Ages to the present. 275 illustrations, 55 in color.
